NEW ORLEANS, LA, July 5.--The Con-
tinental Guards. OF this city, went on a pic
mic to Beauvoir, Miss, yesterday, and in Il
body called ON jefferson Davis Capt.
Brownies made an address. After referring
to ''the day we celebrate" !" he said: ~ men,
tion the fact that our membership is com
posed of wearers of the gray and of the blue
TO convey the idea that all past bitterness is
buried again, Thanking you ON behalf of
our members and the ladies accompanying
us would add that it is our intention to
picnic in your neighborhood, and that we
would be pleased to have yourself and fam
lily join us"
MR.. DAVIS REPLY.
Mr.. Davis replied in words TO the follow
ing effect: "rhe day is one which is full of
memories very dear to us. Your uniform
carries the mind back to the time when our
fathers fought for the great principles set
forth in the Declaration of Independence,
the equality of men and the right of the
people to govern themselves. In other
words for the principle that all the powers
of the government depend on consent of the
governed. These principles our fathers
maintained. Yours is n uniform that car
ries us back to the times when our people
made sacrifices of blood and treasure for the
cause that was dear to them. Ny father
father was also soldier of the revolution.
Your uniform is therefore dear TO the hearts
of both of us.
THE FOUR YEARS WAR
eve may not dwell on the subject yet we
cannot avoid reminding ourselves that you,
the men of this generation, through four
years of strife and sacrifice of blood and
treasure sought To maintain the great prin-
ciples of the declaration of independence
and the constitution Of the United States.
AS your captain has justly said, these things
belong to the past. / do not seek to revive
them beyond pointing out that you fought
for the right and let your children remem-
Der that their fathers were neither rebels
nor traitors" In conclusion, Mr.. Davis
thanked the Continentals for their visit and
remarked that Mrs. Davis, although herself
unwell, had risen from her couch to receive
them and show her appreciation Of the
honor The Continentals and their guests,
after spending pleasant day at Beauvoir,

Hon. ID. =. madden.

There being no more speakers on
the regular programme, loud calls
were made for Hidden. Hs insisted
upon being excused on the ground
of the flow OF eloquence from Gov.
Taylor, Mes'Ts. Littleton and Phelsn,
but let 90 with some OF his character
Isle humor, as follows:
81 don't know whether you regard
me as an Irishman or not, and | don't
know about it myself. The other day
when ] was at Hebrew gathering, |
was q Hebrew. Then l found myself
at the funniest, there was German.
Here we are assembled as citizens OF
the Taxing District, aud I'm one oil
YOU. II Pm not Irish, it's not my
fault. My mother and oil my relatives
came from Ireland, and I'm going
back to the dear old Iile TO sec what
kind of relatives l have. l am not
ashamed OF them, but they may be
ashamed OF me"
He then announced the public
demonstration AZ an end, and the
crowd dispersed, enthusiastic over the
monster meeting and its harmonious
results. The Governor returned to
his rooms at the Peabody, whers a
pu uber OF friends and admirers called
and paid their respects, at the came
time taking occasion to tender con-
gratu lations for the magnificent eforI

The Hon. James PheInn.

At the conclusion of Gov. Taylor's
speech loud calls were made for "Phe-
laul Phelan" He came forward, was
introduced by Mr.. Hidden and spoke
from the iullness OF his heart OF the
woes OF Ireland. 1.-THE part which we
play in the drama now being enacted
in Ireland is indeed small one. But
let us remember that no matter how
small the army on this side of the
world, it is an important one. We
have seen the tyrant hand OF Eugland
laid heavily upon the throats OF the
dear old country, but everywhere
there are evidences OF growing SYM
pathy, which will ere long swell into
such proportions that England dare
not disregard il or the voice OF civil
izsd humanity" He then eulogizsd
the great Gladstone, who had dared
rsise his voice in behalf of the OPP
pressed people. But the highest tri-
butte, and one which called forth the
most brilliant language with which
the speaker is familiar, was paid the
Hon. Charles Stewart Parnell. En-
thusiastic cheers followed the men,
ton of the name. He Closed with Q
scalhing rebuke to the venomous pol
icy OF the London Times, which he
characterized as the hireling of the

MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL--TUEsDAY, MAY 81, 1887:

sary means Under this reign OF tar
ror her people have long since lspsed
into abject poverty. Ireland has de-
cayed; the blight Of death Is UPON
her; her fields are desolate; her cities
are crumbling; her harbors are with
out sail; her forts are deserted; her
fishermen starve ON the beach. She
els like q beautiful queen stripped OF
h - Iobes Of royalty, in poverty and

led hopes. A few "aooisn a maushh. Ivy
man own her soil and 10. I" V'e' "e'
5000. 900 Of people.
The Governor read an article from
the pen Of William Hewitt, showing
fully the iniquitous system OF land
lordism ss practiced in Ireland
But tina browning wrong Of all the
mighty pyramid OF wrongs heaped
upon 1rslsnd is the last coercion bill
Of 1887. Gladstone, the great states
man and friend Of justice and lit eriy,
has declared that ''for Iceland this
new coercion is q question Of suffering,
and she knows how to suffer. For
England i is a question Of shame and
difhonor"
That grand statesman and friend Of
a helpless neople In his old age, while
the dews Ct life's evening are oondens-
ing on his brow, and the shadows OF
the long, long nights are falling around
him, stands pleading their cause.
Is IL possible that q great civilized
nation, upon whose possessions the
sun never sets, the boaNed mistress Of
the feas, the fountain head OF law and
justice, should thus seek 10 tear the
isst vestigs Of human liberty from her
subjects right under the shadow Of
her throne2
Is it possible that the great govern
ment, which was the first to incorpo-
rate in her organic law the sacred right
OF her citizens 20 trial by jury and to
the writ OF habeas corpus, should be
the fret 10 violate these rights?
Would England add another black
page to her hiotory with the sad story
of her ingratitude to her loyal sub
jecis?
Does England forget how Irishmen
have borne her Hsg aloit on every sea
and in every landP Does she forget
the dark shadows that hung on Water
loo when the grim specter from Elba
thrt a'ened disaster to English armies
and English powtrY
Has she forgotten her glorious and
immortal Wellington Do English
men deny the right OF Americans 10
plead for IrelendP Our national his
tory, our institutions, the glory OF our
Repub ic, our very lives aud fortunes,
bear the impress and influence OF
/ ish Americans. They build our
cities and railroads; they open our
mines; they cultivate our fields; they
are in our State and national councils;
they are in the forefront Of our battles;
aud today the head Of our army is an
Irishmsn.
Do EDglishmen say that Tehnes-
seesns have no right to speak for Ire
land?
Lat the dust OF the Irishman who
sleeps at the Hermitage answer for us
Let the blood OF the gallant and glori
GUS Pat Cleburne answer from the
gorp field OF Franklin.
Oar civilization revolts against this
terrible crime. Our common humani.
tv condemns 1t. The Christianity OF
the whole world protests against it.
May the God Of justice and of
mercy forbid it.

A Telegram to Messrs Gladstone and

minders From Abroad.

Not less than 5000 people gathered
ON the bluff last night TO listen to
speeches from representative Tonnes
scans, including Gov. R. L. Taylor,
in condemnat on OF the coercion bill,
now pending in the British Par
lament. They began to assemble
ss early as 7 o'clock, and contin-
usd until after the demonstration
began. Booming cannon and the
lurid flare OF fireworks lent additional
charms and excitement to the occs-
sion, and raised the patriotic entbu.
siasm OF the Irish and Americans citi-
zens pre- lent 10 fever heat.
Gov. Taylor was conveyed Ia the
speakers stand, near the brink of the
mighty bluff overlooking the bread
Mississippi, in carriage, accompanied
by the Hon. D P. MADDEN and Mr.. M.
Gavin. The knights Of Ihnisfail, un-
der command of Capt. jas. K. Ryan,
formed a gallant and handsome Escort,
and these we're preceded by Arno d.
band. From the Peabody to the bluff
a swarm OF msn and boys sur.
rounded the carriage containing the
distinguished visitor, and at times
approached so near that great care mad
to be exercised to prevent an accident
Arrived at the bluff much difficulty
was encountered in opening a way
through the crowd by which to reach
the stand. 1t required a great deal of
effort on the part of the police, the
people being 10th to stir for fear of
losing choice positions already SO.
cured. When finally the task had
been accomplished, and the speakers
reached the rostrum erected for them,
no time was lost in beginning the
demonstration. President d. P. Had.
den presided, and at once introduced
Gov. Taylor in the following neat
speech:
Fellow Citizens Of Memphis:
You have seen fit to assemble In
mass meeting to discuss a ques-
ton of interest to the Emerald
Isle-a measure Of oppression to

friends and fellow citizens, take pleas.

able to enlightsn you on the matter
that has called us together.

pearance, which he gracefully &C.
knowledged, and proceeded as fol-

quently interrupted by applause. He
began by picturiug the trials and
hardships Of the Irish people at the
hands OF Englsnd, following the
measures Of oppression up to the
present time. "During The prolonged
season OF tyranny, in which the patri-
otto people OF Ireland endured all man
ner of prosecutions and outrages, they
did not beg tor mercy. l would have
a supreme contempt for them II they
had. But they demanded redress and
the right ogovern themselves. Though
delayed until the present day, the Q
is no doubt that it will ultimately be
accomplished, and Irish-Americans
will tsse no small part in bringing it
about" Mr.. Littleton impressed his
hearers with the fact that bis soul was
moved by the brave but hitherto I'M
successful stand Of Ireland, and his
words Of burning eloquence were re-
warded with vociterous applause.
